I have always favored the low profile models with no turrets. But, it depends on the application. In a defensive mode from a distance, the low profile is great to have, but if they have to mix it up and fight on the run, the turret makes a big difference. But it is often factors other than visible looks, armor, and firepower that can make a difference. The ability to communicate, stable aim gun platforms while firing, a compartment that is endurable for long drives without excessive crew fatique, and reliability.
